Skern Lodge Outdoor Activity Centre — Attraction in Torridge District

I stayed here for 4 days and really enjoyed my stay. The room was reasonably sized and we were lucky enough to have an very nice en suite.

The food was much better than expected and I was pleasantly surprised at the range of dishes as both breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with both vegetarian and halal options. The staff also provided lots of information into what allergens each dish might contain. At breakfast there was a full English breakfast available, with a veggie option, a wide selection of cereals and yougurts and toast. Lunch consisted to two rolls of your choice, ranging from turkey, to beef, to jam and sausage, to name a few. You also received multiple 'extras', such as fruit, crisps and cereal bars. At dinner, there was often 3 or even 4 options to choose from, which was great, and a wide choice of salads.

The shop/bar was slightly expensive but the 'bartender' was very nice. There was also lots of other leisure activities available in the evenings, such as table tennis, giant Jenga, pool and table football.

The staff were extremely friendly and everyone really liked them. Overall, I would definitely...

We recently undertook the RYA powerboat level 2 course through Skern Lodge and just wanted to post about our very positive experience. Skern Lodge is very local to us and well known for its outdoor activities programmes. It was a perfect location for us to be able to do the course and we were very keen to do it following our recent boat acquisition! We were introduced to our instructor Kieran and he began taking us through the theory attached to the course. He was very confident and knowledgeable on the subject and gave us clear, practical instructions to be able to (hopefully!) perform the necessary manoeuvres safely. The practical element of almost 2 full days has also given us the skills to help ensure our safety, the safety of others and our vessel and those around us! Now it’s a case of putting it all into practice! Huge thanks to all at Skern Lodge and a massive shout out to Kieran for his patience and understanding taking us through this course. It is very much appreciated. We all enjoyed it immensely and I would recommend it to anyone using...

What a great time we had! From our first call to Skern Lodge to the time we left, our experience has been fantastic.

We booked over the telephone and Andrea who answered my call was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. On arrival, our group was welcomed professionally and time was taken to make sure everyone was accommodated for.

Our instructor Andy was professional, friendly and a lot of fun with all the members of the group. He was especially helpful with my 10 year old son, changing the challenges to suit his abilities and encouraging him to do more than he thought he could!

Everyone came away from the day having had a great time and we all had challenged ourselves is some way. We also had a great sense of achievement.

Thank you...
